[AT] Covid-19 Quarantine tractor project

[Greg Hass]

I was raised with all IH equipment and all tractors we ever had, 
starting with a 1952 Farmall Super C, read the current going into the 
battery, not the generator output. Once the battery was charged after 
starting, the only time the ammeter moved was if the lights were on and 
you idled the engine down to where the generator could not keep up. If 
you were working at normal speed the meter never changed. The one thing 
different from what is being talked about is that all of our tractors 
had the fully automatic voltage regulators; none had the cutout type 
regulator which may be wired different. The only issue we have had with 
reverse readings was a couple of tractors we changed to 12 volts and 
were negative ground requiring us to reverse the wiring.
